Catch me if you can!

A word. Busy.  And it's only going to get worse.  I mean 5 kids = non-stop action.  So here's a little rundown of what we've been up to the past little while.  Totally random of course.

Tiff:
  • Just finished my semester of school.  My grandma was right.  Going to school while having one child is much easier then going to school with five children.  Live and learn.
  • Did a couple photo sessions.  Loved it.  Lots of fun.  Would love to do more if I could find more time.
  • I've been on a major de-junking and de-crapifying mission.  I've worked on the garage and the bedrooms and the playroom organizing and simplifying.  I also started filing all our paperwork after a three year break.  Yeah, that's a lot of paper to shred.

Dave:
  • Work, work, work.  
  • Travel, travel, travel.  In February Dave was gone for two weeks traveling to offices in California and Iowa and Massachusetts.  He enjoyed lots of yummy food and new sights.
  • Soccer.  Dave's indoor soccer team won the championship in their division.  That means they got a cool trophy and the team voted Dave the MVP and gave him the trophy!  He also got asked to try out for a semi-pro team.  Awesome!

Emma:
  • Growing up too fast.  She's a great babysitter. Love's to ride her bike and swim.

McKay
  • Has soccer practice twice a week and games on Saturday.  He loves it.  He's really improved his skills and has scored quite a few goals!  Also, still loves those video games (where did he get that from?)

Sophie
  • Super excited to start Kindergarten in the fall!  Loves to play outside and find rolie polies.  Manages to do something silly nearly every day to make me laugh.

Layla
  • Also loves to play outside and find rolie polies.  Loves to play with Sophie.  If not playing with Sophie she is my little shadow and follows me everywhere.

Charlotte
  • Oh my cuteness!  I just love our little baby who is quickly growing into a toddler (how sad!)  She is eighteen months old.  She is pure happiness.  She loves to dance and tag along with her sisters and brother.  She is finally drinking from a sippy cup which means she is finally weaned!

Random pictures for your viewing pleasure (I claim to be a photographer by profession but not in real life!  I am so awful at taking pictures of normal everyday stuff)

 Squishy, I want to squish you!

 Run some more.
 Grandma Ju Ju came to visit for a whole week!
